The Next Dimension: A Dragon Ball Z Podcast

Jesse and Don don't have much to say about the fight between Vegetto and Super Gohan-Buu, and what little they do say mostly isn't positive. What is discussed however are a variety of strange topics, many including hypothetical fusions and attacks involving the characters and even the hosts themselves! Learn of the origin behind the fusion of Bulma and Chi Chi! Witness the eternal haunting of both End of Evangelion AND Ja Rule! And see Yamcha as you've never seen him before in his life after death! The new year has begun, and so has the countdown to the final months of the Next Dimension, so get 2015 started right with a podcast recorded from the past!!!

Celebrating three years of Dragon Ball Z goodness, Donovan and Jesse put together a special going back to the roots of Dragon Ball!

Closing out the month of November, Jesse and Don tackle the e-mails they recieved since episode 34.
